The main reason it doesn't do this is that MySQL 5.0 doesn't include the =
embedded server version of the library.  It was in 4.1, they took it out =
in 5.0, then put it back in in 5.1 due to user demand.  As long as we =
want to support 5.0 out of the box, we can't go depending on the =
embedded server.

We can't make it optional, either, at least on Windows where you are.  =
The VS2008 C++ build system doesn't have the flexibility to detect =
platform abilities and build accordingly.  We can do it on autoconf =
based systems, maybe do it with MinGW Makefiles, and probably someday do =
it with the MSBuild-based VS2010.  Patches thoughtfully considered.=
